They tenderly picked up her body, wonderfully made, brutally murdered,
Her intelligence snuffed out, her wisdom lost, her mothering care gone.
Society wept, crying against the constant bombardment of hate, hate, hate,
spoken through the media social, the radio, the speeches and the street,
as it wielded a gun, killed her, willed her death, for no reason of rationale.

Children growing are taught to loathe, not to think, to despise not to learn,
their minds are instilled with invective, blocking their detective instincts to
ask and probe, to seek and read and find leads that take them further into
a world where there is hope, and to question is honoured, and to examine
the speeches and not be nose led, or gross fed the lies of white supremacy.

Instead they are learned in the lore of ignorance as they close their minds
and buy ropes that bind, buy hats that are signed by bigots and yet even
some will test the waters but find that to step away from such hypocrisy is
to break their family, shake friends and take their status. So, they don’t but
there are those who care, bear the burden of stagnant, Godless thinking.

They march in the streets, carrying pleading placards, their minds fixed
on changing the reels of those; who have been educated to seal their
brains, with monetary gains, choosing the reign of inflicting pains and
staining the ground with the blood of innocence. The protesters struggle
straining to shift the ground, see evil reigned in, turn the widening tide,
promote healing, heroes out to challenge and claim the humanity of
the
joy
of
diversity.
